After spending almost three months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld returned to action.

The comeback was short-lived, though, as he made just two appearances in February - both in the FA Cup.

Since then, the centre-back has been restricted to the training pitch to regain full fitness.

Alderweireld’s absence has occurred amid frequent rumours about his long-term future at Spurs given that he is yet to sign a new contract.

Fans have been urging the defender on social media to sign fresh terms, but it remains to be seen whether he will commit his future to the North London outfit.

Despite the fact that the 29-year-old has been out injured for Spurs, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has confirmed to reporters that Alderweireld is fit to feature against Saudi Arabia in an international friendly.

The news has caused some fans to consider what could really be going on behind the scenes.
